Children's developing brains and the many supports naturally built into their lives (parents, siblings, teachers, etc.) make them perfect candidates for intervention when they are experiencing difficulty. If you are concerned about your child, as a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist, I can identify strengths and needs and develop a plan for intervention that addresses multiple influences within your child's life, including home and school. I am most adept at working with children with developmental delays/disorders, anxiety, learning difficulties, behavioral issues, and executive functioning deficits (such as attention difficulties).
My background and experience with very young children to teenagers and children with autism spectrum disorders help me truly tailor my approach to each individual. I am skilled at adapting traditional therapy (i.e. CBT) to fit the needs of a special population.
I offer psychoeducational evaluation, diagnostic evaluation, individual therapy, parent consultation or training, school consultation, and workshops.
